Promotional items and corporate gifts are frequently used by many
businesses around the world, including Africa, for advertising and
marketing. Items that are both attractive and useful are typically
purchased in bulk from a wholesaler. The name and logo of the company or
corporation can then be easily imprinted onto the chosen items.

for your company. By giving away reusable water containers you are
making a statement about sustainability and consumer responsibility by
promoting an environmentally friendly alternative to buying prepackaged

polyethylene plastic, and polycarbonate plastic. The consumption of
water around the world doubled between the years 1997 to 2005, leaving

bottles, your clients will be lessening their impact on landfills across
the country while promoting your business.
In addition to cutting
down on wasted polyethylene terephthalate or PET bottles, your
customers will be able to avoid the effects of drinking purified water
which contains no fluoride, leading to tooth decay over time. Reusing

fifteen years are "China's Coming" and "The internet will change
everything". Curiously, it's not very often that you hear both buzzwords
used together - but why not ? Using the internet to do business with
China has to be one of the smartest ideas around.
First of all,
China has some incredible advantages in terms of trade. It has easy
access to raw materials and cheap labour. Its economic base is growing
and there is very little that China can't produce. Secondly, it is a
massive and growing market for all sorts of products and services and
with an increasing taste for western brands. These facts alone make
doing business with China a very interesting proposition, let alone the
fact that your competitors are already thinking about how they can lower
costs and/or expand sales by doing business with China.
